Title: Toe-in
Post by: 92EcoDiesel Jetta on November 17, 2014, 07:38:07 am: Anyone know what the toe-in specs in inches are (not degree/minutes) for 92 Jetta and 81 Caddy? Most non VW cars I've owned in the past are 1/16". The Caddy manual I have says to set the toe-in as close to zero as possible...the closer to zero, the more squirelly the front end will feel. What do you set yours to?

Yes, I am doing it myself. Have been for many years with a pretty accurate method I've been using.

Why on earth would you use anything else?

Measuring from the tire? rim? what size rim?

I usually shoot for a convergence a little under an inch in 20 feet unless I need better turn in.

Because a ruler cannot measure angles. What is that link you posted? Could not get it to work.
